the a-word

abortion is not illegal in the united states. no matter how many people wish it was, no matter that our president opposes it, not matter its religious implications; abortion is not illegal. the government regulates it and therefore the government should provide information on it. our country has yet to relate freedom of speech to the internet, and even more has yet to regulate what can and cannot be said on the internet. therefore, quietly disclosing information on such a topic is unacceptable. it is censorship in the simplest form. the government is failing to provide its citizens with vital information. i thought our country was beyond that. i am not sure how many arguments can be provided for or again such a clean display of censorship.
